Chapter 780: Returning Home by Car
Chapter 780: Returning Home by Car
Outside the palace gate, Xiao Jingyu helped Duke Anguo Fu Peng into the carriage, and then he got in too.
When Suifeng and Tinglei saw this, they looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, shrugged their shoulders, and smiled as they ordered the coachman to drive their own carriage to follow behind.
Yu Feng, who was carrying the imperial edict, looked at this scene and nodded silently.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu really considers himself the grandson-in-law of Duke Anguo Fu Peng!
Look how respectful he is!
Look at how filial he is!
It seems that their immortal-like Prince Yu really holds Miss Leng... oh no... Princess Chengxian at the top of his heart!
As a result, he was also very respectful to the people in the Anguo Mansion.
This should be called loving the house and loving the dog!
With the help of the young eunuch, Yu Feng got on a carriage at the back.
Three carriages drove out of the palace gate one after another, onto the street, and headed towards the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Not far away, Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi stood beside his carriage and watched from afar... watching Xiao Jingyu help Anguogong Fu Peng get into the carriage;
Watching Xiao Jingyu and Anguogong Fu Peng get on the same carriage...
Xiao Jingyi's heart seemed to be gnawed by countless insects called jealousy and resentment... It hurts!
The pain made my teeth clatter and my fists clench...
In the end, he just snorted coldly, turned around and got on the carriage.
Xiao Jingyi sat in the carriage with his brows tightly furrowed.
Thinking that when Xiao Jingyu went to the Anguo Mansion, he would see the stunningly beautiful Leng Rongyue;
Thinking of them gathering together in the Duke of Anguo's mansion;
Thinking of Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue under the moon and flowers, exchanging glances...
Xiao Jingyi slammed his fist on the small tea table beside him in anger.
After calming down a little, Xiao Jingyi thought about what happened in the Golden Palace again.
Zhang Jinyan was sent to the Heavenly Prison... So he was sent to the Heavenly Prison.
From Xiao Jingyi's perspective now, neither Zhang Jinyan nor Zhang Jinyan's daughter Zhang Miaoying has anything to do with him anymore.
But Zhang Jinyan knew too much about his own affairs!
I can't just turn my back on him, otherwise, just look at what happened in the Golden Palace just now, that old man almost bit me like a mad dog, with red eyes!
If I turn against him now and divorce his daughter Zhang Miaoying and kick her out of Prince Yi's Mansion, the old man will definitely not let me go.
If he talks nonsense and bites himself hard... the consequences are unimaginable!
Obviously, now is not the time to break up with him.
As for how to split up... I really need to think about it carefully...
We must get rid of these troubles without bringing more troubles to ourselves.
Putting Zhang Jinyan and Zhang Miaoying aside for the moment, Xiao Jingyi thought of the father and son of Duke Anguo whom he had met today, Xiao Jingyu whom he had met, and Emperor Hongde whom he had met.
There was nothing unusual about their attitude towards themselves.
But, on Yunxiang Mountain...
Xiao Jingyi's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Those dozens of people went to Yunxiang Mountain. What exactly did they encounter there?
Could it be that... this is just a mystery left unsolved?
Xiao Jingyi pondered deeply...
He had already thought of the outcome he least wanted to think of, and now he was even more certain—
That is, the dozens of people he sent were all strangled to death by the Anguo Mansion and Xiao Jingyu without leaving a single one alive!
Afterwards, all traces were erased!
And then... and then just like today, everyone faced themselves as if nothing had happened.
If this is true, then my situation is terrible!
My intentions have been exposed, but others remain silent...
But next... next, what I'm going to do... I'm afraid every move I make will be under the silent surveillance of others!
The truth about Xiao Jingyi is out!
However, the subsequent events caused him to deviate from the truth in an instant.
The carriage was moving forward when suddenly, a sharp arrow shot in from somewhere, passed through the window, and with a "bang", it hit the wall of the carriage.
"There is an assassin, protect the prince!"
The guards outside shouted, drew their swords, surrounded the carriage, and were ready for battle.
However, apart from the arrow, there was no other movement, and no trace of the assassin was found.
Xiao Jingyi in the carriage was really scared by the arrow.
Just as he was lost in thought, a sharp arrow suddenly shot in and hit the wall of the car next to him. Anyone would be frightened.
However, when Xiao Jingyi saw the arrow, his heart slowly calmed down.
A piece of paper was rolled up on the arrow shaft and tied with a thin thread.
When Xiao Jingyi saw it, he knew that the arrow was not meant to kill him, but to deliver a message.
Xiao Jingyi calmed himself down, pulled out the arrow stuck in the wall of the car, cut the string that wrapped the paper strip, and took the paper strip wrapped around the arrow shaft.
Throwing away the arrow, opening the note, Xiao Jingyi read it carefully...
There were only a few words written on the two-finger-wide and four-finger-long piece of paper: Leng Rongyue is alone, don't get involved, and don't act rashly again!
Xiao Jingyi read the words on the note over and over again several times. Finally, he crumpled the note into a ball in anger and held it tightly in his hand.
Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth and frowned tightly.
After a long while, the hand holding the note pounded heavily on the tea table.
Want to snatch Leng Rongyue from me?
dream!
We are just partners, and I am not your subordinate. Why should I listen to you?
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Jingyi gradually relaxed his frown.
Lifting the curtain with his hand, Xiao Jingyi looked out the window and ordered in a deep voice, "Don't make a fuss, go back home!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
